The Nolan Family

Growing Babies!

In October we were busy with school, playdates, etc.! Aunt Kelly celebrated her birthday, which somehow I did not get a picture of her blowing out her candles on her cake. I'm sure I had my hands full holding a baby! Here are some pictures of our October!!

At outing at the VMFA! Lily, Madelyn, Cora, and Shay!

1 month old!

My sweet Joshua turned 1 month old on September 24th! Wow, where did the time go?! It was a busy month, but we enjoyed every minute of it!! Joshua went to the doctor at 20 days old after we got back from the beach. He was doing so well his doctor said he did not need to come back until he was 2 months! At 20 days, Joshua weighed 9lbs. 15oz and was 22 1/2 inches tall! Growing boy!! Joshua has been eating every 2 to 3 hours during his first month of life:) He sleeps 2 to 4 hours at a time at night, mostly for 3 hours. He's a big boy, he loves to eat! My little man loves to grunt, especially at night! We are loving our little man so much, and can't wait to see how he grows and develops a little personality over the months to come!!

Happy 1 month baby Joshua!

Love this face!!!

Bundled up after a bath!

Precious boy!

Love his fat cheeks!

Disney on Ice!

We went to see Disney on Ice at the Colliseum at the end of September! Cora was soo excited to dress up as Cinderella. We went with Aunt Kelly, Madelyn, and Nana. The girls had a blast!! We can't wait to go next year:)

After Cora started school we all just wanted to enjoy the weeks of Joshua's infancy. We had some playdates and played around the house. Here are a few pictures from September!

Ohh how I love this face!

Very chill baby!

Cora loves balloons! We somehow end up with all of these balloons when we go places!

Doing tummy time...together!

1st day of Preschool!

Cora started preschool this year at the Gingerbread Cottage! It was a last minute decision but I am so glad I decided to put her in school! She goes from 8:45-11:45am on Mondays and Tuesdays. Her teachers are Mrs. Tucker and Mrs. Chehouri. She is loving school and has made some new little friends. Her class is the majority boys, so we will see how that goes! I can't believe my little girl is in preschool and she will soon be 3! Where has the time gone!

The night before school...she was getting excited!

Having a chat with baby brother about how she is going to school!

Having a good start to the day with breakfast that her daddy made her!

All ready!!

It was interesting trying to get two kids out the door to school on time!

Such a big girl!

OBX Bound -Joshua 1 1/2 weeks old!

So we decided that we all four of us would go to the beach this year. Everything was up in the air. I didn't know if I wanted to stay home with just Joshua or if I should go with everyone, etc. Final decision, everyone goes! It actually worked out perfectly!! I was tired, but it was nice to have all of the extra help during his second week of life! We all had such a good time, especially Cora! Our beach crew included Vera and Tom, Denise, John and Carrie, Mark and Jack, the McGurie's, Nana and Pop, and of course us! Joshua was probably the easiest out of all the kids, or at least the quietest! I didn't get too many pictures when everyone was out on the beach because I was obviously with the baby! But here are a few of our family vacation pics!
